From the publisher
For over 100 years Palestinians have resisted colonial occupation, displacement, and dispossession. Yet much of their long history of resistance has remained hidden.
Palestine, imperialism, and the struggle for freedom follows their struggles against Britain, the Zionist settler movement, and the state of Israel and its powerful allies. It looks in detail at the Great Uprising that resisted Britain’s Mandate regime, the intifadas that have challenged Israeli rule, and continuing efforts to resist colonisation of the West Bank and Gaza. Throughout this account, the book considers the achievements of the Palestinian national movement – and its crises and setbacks.
The book also examines radicalising impacts of Palestinian resistance across the Middle East. It sees struggle against imperialism as the basis for social justice across the region and argues that revolutionary change in the Arab states will play a decisive role in the liberation of Palestine.
